Staff Members Gamez and Luna reminded Committee Members that if the objectives are not established, it will be difficult for Committee Members to stay on task and complete their goals. OTHER BUSINESS Vice Chairperson Arcuri informed Committee Members that when the Dublin High School Library is torn down, the books will be relocated to a classroom, but study and computer space will no longer be available. This will be especially disappointing for those students who need access to computers, who need space to tutor or study, or who simply need a place to stay until they can be picked up by,a parent. Mayor Tim Sbranti; who is a teacher at Dublin High School, mentioned to students that three portables classrooms on campus could be used for after school recreation programs for high school students. Vice Chairperson Arcuri asked if City Staff could supervise the recreation rooms. Committee Member Tran suggested that Dublin High students over the age of 18 could act as building attendants at this possible program. Staff Member Gamez replied she would discuss this idea with the Assistant Director of Parks and Community Services and report back at a future meeting. • Committee Member Brown said he went to a seminar about the "40 Developmental Assets" designed to give youth the ability to set a foundation.for a successful future. Staff Member Luna gave a brief description of the 40 Developmental Assets. Committee Member Europa, suggested that other youth • should be able to see the presentation and perhaps the Committee can set the foundations for setting up clubs at school. Jennifer Rousch, the coordinator of the 40 Developmental Assets seminar, will be contacted by Committee Member Brown to set up the presentation at a future Youth Advisory Committee meeting: Staff Member Luna stated to Committee Members that the Shannon Community Center will tentatively be open to the public at the end of February. Once the Community Center opens, Staff plans to schedule some Youth Advisory Committee activities and events at this site. • Staff Member Gamez informed Committee Members that she will take tours of various recreation centers in the bay area to get an idea of what works or doesn't work for a teen lounge. A new aquatic center, gym, and teen lounge are planned to be included in the future Emerald Glen Recreation and Aquatic Complex. The plans include space for a teen lounge.
